Willis and the Dolphins agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million contract, NFL Network reported.

The former Liberty Flames standout will now have a great opportunity to become a full-time starter in the NFL four years after the Tennessee Titans selected him in the third round of the draft.

Willis’ time with the Titans didn’t exactly go as planned. He entered the organization as a backup to Ryan Tannehill and then had to fight for his position with Will Levis. For the 2024 season, Willis had signed with the Green Bay Packers.

He played in 11 games for the Packers and started three of them. He had 972 passing yards and six touchdown passes while with Green Bay. He served as Jordan Love’s backup, but received some opportunities to play while Love was out with injuries.

Willis impressed with his performance on the field. He was 18-for-21 with 288 passing yards and three touchdowns when Green Bay lost to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17. He also had a touchdown pass and 121 passing yards in an overtime loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 16.

He will likely be in the running for the starting job since the team moved on from Tagovailoa.
